This is a partial history of the ghosts of Spring, Texas, The country's 6th most haunted city! Old Town Spring is one of my favorite places to visit because the shops are diverse, fun and haunted to boot. I tell the story of the Wunsche Bros. Saloon/Brothel and later-cafe, and the story of Judge Henry Doering and his hanging tree. I discuss the Spring's brutal history and the truth behind the ghost stories.

California and Texas have always been inextricably linked in US history, and this story links them in the worst way. Clara Ann Phillips was a ticking time bomb, but she went off on the wrong girl.

The Enfield Haunting remains one of the most documented and terrifying ghost stories in the world's history. To this day debates rage on whether the girls were telling the truth or not. There are a lot of recordings to watch out there and plenty of documentation to sift through. Let me know what you think? Is it a hoax or not?

***WARNING****
GORE

The Tale of Sawney Bean is a gory one, and definitely one you don't want to listen to with the kiddos around.

Thank you to Joel at BuffaloDoubleDeckerBusTours.com for the original telling of the story!

Clothilde Marchand had a loving family, and her husband's career was on the rise. Why was she the victim of a murder?

The reason is far more complex than it seems.

Winnie Ruth Judd was a complicated individual. On one hand she was the depressed wife of a doctor who had become addicted to morphine, and on the other she was having an affair with a successful man who asked her to introduce friends and acquaintances to him so he could in turn sleep with them too.

It was never going to end well.

Ghost ships have long interested me, mostly because the ocean and all of its depths have interested me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not remotely interested in plunging miles below it's surface to see a shipwreck-but it's still a mystery. The Ourang Medan is no different, except that for many years people have speculated that something paranormal may have been involved in the deaths of the Ourang Medan crew; especially when their bodies were found with eyes open and mouths frozen in screaming terror.
